Deployment from Shared AMI

Nuvens has adapted the deployment to several Git platforms with Pipelines and Actions and the code is already available in our GitLab repositories.

Before publishing each version in the AWS Marketplace, Nuvens must create an AMI (Amazon Machine Image) in a secure environment. This AMI can be shared with other AWS accounts and regions, allowing it to be consumed through various deployment mechanisms, such as Terraform, Git, CloudFormation, or manual processes.

When deploying Nuvens custom AMI, several AWS infrastructure requirements must be met. These are typically automated through the CloudFormation template deployed from the AWS Marketplace. These requirements include:

1. Security Group: for the EC2 instance(s), with inbound and outbound rules.

2. IAM Requirements: Custom Policies.

3. IAM Requirements: Role and EC2 instance profile.

4. Shared AMI (Amazon Machine Image): it must be present in your AWS Account and Region prior to the deployment.
